<p>Gentlemen: Does any recruiter (3PR or internal) say to her/himself: "Oh, here's a really ****** search, I LOVE really ****** searches!" Rather, I think most of us take less than optimal searches/work/jobs/gigs be cause we (rightly or wrongly) feel we need to.</p>
<p>Whenever I hear someone say: "I never have to look for work, I'm always being called by everyone, BEGGING me to come work for them, and if they aren't perfect, I just say 'no'....". I think: "*Good for you! Wish I were like that…</p>

<p>Thanks Gordon. If only all recruiters would walk away if they didn't get all this information then I suspect the success rate of all placements would skyrocket because hiring managers would be forced to think through every aspect of the recruitment process that they are ultimately going to be largest beneficiary of. </p>
